Disk Druid / linux fdisk warning

[Chris Aitken]

When I use Disk Druid, just before I start partitioning, I get the 
following message:

Unable to align partition properly. This probably means that another 
paritioning tool generated an incorrect partition table, because it 
didn't have the correct BIOS geometry. It is safe to ignore, but 
ignoring may cause (fixable) problems with some boot loaders.

Similarly, with linux fdisk I get:

The number of cylinders is set to 2654. There is nothing wrong with 
that, but it is larger than 1024, and could in certain setupscause 
problems with
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g. old versions of LILO)
2) booting or partitioning software from other OSs (e.g. DOS fdisk, OS/2 
fdisk),

Should I do anything about this? I have been doing a lot of loading of 
various flavours of redhat-type and debian-type OSs (live and installed) 
lately. I wonder if I've pooched something...
